A number of years ago, my Father was in charge of a charity drive where 
we collected donations at intersections.  It was a very rainy day, so we 
ended up with a very large amount of very wet small bills.  We had to 
dry it all out, so every flat surface in the house, kitchen and dining 
room tables, kitchen countertops, etc. was covered in drying money.  It 
looked like a counter fitting operation. I suspect your basement will 
look like some sort of basement lego counter fitting operation.

In a related story, all of the coins were put in 5 gallon buckets.  
While walking into the bank that night, one of the buckets split open 
and nearly 5 gallons of change spilled out just inside the front door of 
the bank.  The sound made by all of the coins hitting a hard floor was 
like a waterfall.  We then had to use office waste paper baskets to 
collect the money that we picked up from the floor since those were the 
only containers available.  (We did not have access to the vault in the 
bank since it was after hours.)
